Pat Goss, MotorWeek's resident master technician, helps consumers understand car problems and how to speak the same language as their technician. As cars becoming increasingly complex, fewer repairs can be accomplished at home. Effective communication with a repair shop is vital to keeping consumer and operating costs under control. From rattles and squeaks to leaks and drips, Pat covers a myriad of issues designed to keep cars on the road and out of the repair shop.

<!-- .left.narrower -->Underhood and Under Car Gadgets

Modern cars have a lot of computers on them and all of those computers have memories that need to be protected if you have to disconnect the battery. Well, for years, we recommended this little device that uses a 9-volt battery, but I have to tell you… Read More

Tires - they do lot more than just get your car down the road; for better or worse, they can make or break your driving experience. When you stop and think about it, tires are pretty amazing; they’re the only part of your car that actually touches the road. You know,… Read More

<!-- .left.narrower -->Electronic Add-Ons

This time, I’ve got a couple of new products; both are safety related – one, relative to driving in general. The other is safety related to driving the vehicle itself. Now, we’re going to start with this Philips daytime running light kit. As LED lights,… Read More

<!-- .left.narrower -->Clock Springs & Airbags

Many years ago, this was a typical steering wheel; but today, it couldn’t even legally exist on a car that’s driven on the road. Reason being, it doesn’t have an airbag. You see, with the advent of airbags, lots of things changed with the steering wheel… Read More

Sooner or later, we all have to buy a replacement car; whether it’s a new car or a used car, whether it’s a truck or a van, or a passenger car. No matter what it is, one of the most important things that you have to do is a road test. And before you do that road test,… Read More

<!-- .left.narrower -->Timing Belts

Timely changing of your timing belt is an often overlooked car care service, and that’s not good! And Pat Goss tells us why down at Goss’ Garage. For many years, vehicle manufacturers have elected to use timing belts to drive the camshafts in the top of the… Read More

Everyone knows to keep their tires rotated, but like most things, there’s a right way and a wrong way. Pat Goss has advice on how often, and in what pattern tires should be rotated. Have you checked the price of tires recently? They are expensive. So, how would you like to… Read More

We all know that bleeding your brakes is important, but we also know that it’s a pain to do. Pat has a product that lessens the sting. Unfortunately, most drivers don’t do anything except check the level of their brake fluid and that’s a bad thing because… Read More

<!-- .left.narrower -->Air Filters

Much like modern cars, air filters have come a long way; they filter better and last longer. But, they still need to be serviced or you may be sorry. Nearly every part on a modern car is different than it was on an old car, even the basic things. Take the air filter, for instance.… Read More

With the reliability of today’s cars, do we really need to keep checking belts and hoses all the time? If you think there’s any part of your car that will last forever, you are wrong. You see, every part of every car ever made will wear out if it’s kept in… Read More
